Jeff,
This phenomenon is not limited to entertainment or the media. It will affect everything. I see it very clearly in own field – language training. The demand for choice/control will pulverize the audio-book industry, the language schools, even distance learning programs if they don’t adapt to the new reality. I’ve described something of an alternative herehttp://www.suixuan.com/blog/2005/12/26/21/
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
